Hello lovely’s!

I have got to share this tasty glazed doughnut muffin recipe with you all. I first came across it on Pinterest and I of course pinned it to my “Sweet Treats” board. I was a little intimidated to actually make the muffins, because the ingredients list was quite lengthy.

Then my sweet and beautiful friend, Rene Klobes started a blog called My Simple Kitchen. Rene posted the glazed doughnut muffin recipe and had the same fears, because of all the ingredients. Lets face it, a lot of us think something looks yummy…and then 10 ingredients later we’re like, yeah forget it. She explained how delicious the muffins are and that they actually weren’t that difficult to make. Thanks to Rene I decided to make them myself and wow, was my family happy I did.

They are soft and full of flavor, but not too terribly sweet. They are scrumptious with coffee in the morning or really any time of the day. Not to mention, after you make them you will look at them with pride and think to yourself, “Yeah, I made those….Mhmmm, all me!”

Here is the glazed doughnut muffin recipe…I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I did.

Ingredients:

The Muffins:

* 1/4 cup butter
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/3 cup brown sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
* 1/4 tsp. baking soda
* 3/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
* 1 tsp. cinnamon
* 3/4 tsp. salt
* 1 tsp. vanilla extract

6) Add flour and milk, alternating each. Start and end with flour.
7) Spoon batter into cups, filling them.
8) Bake for 15-17 minutes. Let cool in pan for a few minutes, then transfer out of the pan to cool completely.

The Glaze:

* 3 tbsp. butter, melted

1) Mix melted butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and water in medium bowl.
2) Dip muffin tops into glaze and hold upside down until glaze stops dripping.
3) Once glaze is hardened, dip muffins in glaze a second time.
